Re John Morrisons shipping notes. I was looking at the same notes, just more difficult to read and therefore less certain of the correct interpretation. Thank you. I have already paid for several certificates and will continue to do so as needed.

I'm extremely interested in the family but I enjoy the hunt so thanks for the offer of your information. A few questions, from time to time, at this stage.
Is William Linton, the witness at Grace's wedding, her cousin? I have information on him but have been unable to "attach" them.
Have you seen "Milkside", the cottage where Grace was born? Is it the cottage that comes up on the google street sight and have you seen "Gibsons Cottage" on that sight?
I don't know about the Morrisons in Qld. Do they have many photos of the family? I know F.J Morrison, son, is mentioned on Grace's death certificate, living at Denman, and that John Morrison has listed on the shipping notes an Auntie ?Maud and cousin Blanche living near Musselbrook.
I can go back to Joseph Jardine marrying Janet Kerr in 1792. I got this information from the familysearch sight.
I've been doing family research for about 8 months now.

Hello Jamjar,

Yes, I am in Australia. Grace married John Morrison. Their daughter, Annie, married William Boyd King. William and Annie are my mothers paternal grandparents.  We are amazed by the photograph. The resemblance to my mother is uncanny. My husband and I recently visited the Morrisons grave in Narrabri.

I'm looking for anyone who may have this couple in their tree.

In 1770 they had a son Joseph at, what looks like Ladywood, on the register.

I'm rather sure that Joseph had a brother James. Joseph was a weaver and  married Janet Kerr at Tundergarth prior to going to Canada.

I have all information on both Joseph and Janet. I just can't get that one step futher back on Joseph's side.
